tion blocks for data exchange with the monitor software. Before using the CX-
Process Monitor or CX-Process Monitor Plus, the following settings must be
made with the CX-Process Tool.
The CX-Process Monitor uses the network address, node address, and unit ad-
dress set using the CX-Process Tool (Setting – Network Settings or Setting –
Change PLC) for communications with the PLC. The communications settings
for the CX-Process Monitor Plus are thus made from the CX-Process Tool.
Create a Send Terminal to Computer Function Block or certain other function
blocks (with a block model between 401 and 404) with the CX-Process Tool to
specify the function block, the analog signals (including parameters), or the con-
tact signals (including parameters) as the source for data exchange with the
computer. Also, create AO Terminal Settings from Computer or DO Terminal
Settings from Computer Function Block to enable receiving analog signals or
contact signals from the computer.
Using the CX-Process Tool, set tag names for the function blocks, analog sig-
nals (including parameters), or contact signals (including parameters) specified
as sources. Also, set tag names for the analog or contact outputs of the AO Ter-
minal Settings from Computer or DO Terminal Settings from Computer Function
Blocks. It is also necessary to set the zero point, span point, decimal place, and
scaling of engineering units.
Create the monitor tag file to transfer the created tag data to the CX-Process
Monitor. The CX-Process Monitor must be installed before creating the monitor
tag file.

The CX-Process Monitor Plus uses the network address, node address, and unit
address set using the CX-Process Tool (Setting – Network Settings or Setting
– Change PLC) for communications with the PLC. The communications set-
tings for the CX-Process Monitor Plus and thus made from the CX-Process Tool.
The function blocks used to exchange data with the CX-Process Monitor Plus
must be registered and connected. Register the following blocks for the items to
be monitored.
Loop Control Unit
Send All Blocks block (Block Model 462) and
Receive All Blocks block (Block Model 461)
Contact Distributor (Block Model 201) or Internal Switch (Block Model 209)
